That Time I Wore A Denim Skirt

 Sweater: Forever 21 (old), Skirt: "thrifted" by my mother-in-law, Leopard flats: Gap (recent), Accessories: Karen Walker sunglasses, Asos embellished beanie, necklace via Gilt, gifted Jade bracelet, La Mer x Target leopard wrap watch, Nike FuelBand, Catbird NYC rings, Lulu Frost number ring, Clare Vivier fold over clutch

My slogan with fashion/style has always been "never say never." There are so many things I thought, "I would never wear that" and then...I do. I'm freakin' ironic.

This statement is true for this denim skirt. My mother in law gave it to me during her closet cleanse. I hesitated at first because of my initial associations with denim skirts from my mom's era but, I couldn't pass up the way it fit on me and how I saw some denim skirts styled in
street style photos. Denim skirts are almost like overalls for me with regards to trends but you saw how I got over that. 

Have you been wearing denim skirts lately?

  2. Everything just keeps coming back in style doesn't it? I used to wear a lot of denim mini skirts back in the day but I like this longer length a lot.

  10. I think your denim skirt is perfect! It's more modern because of the dark wash, and it has a longer hemline, instead of the ones from the Kelly Kapowski days. :P I think you styled it wonderfully with the striped sweater! <3

But winter is around the corner and black is what everyone is wearing here in NYC! LOL! I LOVE this denim skirt! and it looks so good on you - I'm SO glad you decided to give it a try!! Happy weekend, Nancy!! xo

  31. You look so cute, Nancy! I am definitely the same way - I never thought denim skirts or denim jackets would come back in, but now I think they are so great! I have to admit, I'm kind of mad at myself for getting rid of so many of my old clothes!

  34. It's not a micro mini denim skirt thats shredded to pieces so I think it's fine! It kind of has like a pencil skirt silhouette. I like it!

  44. denim skirts are one of those things that flit in and out of style, and i think it all depends on the cut! This is gorgeous on you and your Mondrian-esque top!

  45. You're totally rocking that denim skirt! Love the way you styled it especially the flats and the beanie.
